Privacy Policy

SUMMARY. The website www.karmadata.com (the “Site”) is brought to you by Karma Intelligence, LLC (“Karma Intelligence,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") is intended to inform you of Karma Intelligence’s policies and practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that you provide to us when you visit this Site. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Terms of Use for the Site. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, and part of, our Terms of Use which govern your access and use of this Site and/or services in general. If you have comments, suggestions, questions, or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please contact us.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT. Karma Intelligence collects and uses Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy."Personal Information" is information about you that is personally identifiable to you like your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. By accessing our Site and/or submitting Personal Information through the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and you expressly consent to the processing of your Personal Information according to this Privacy Policy. Karma Intelligence also collects Anonymous Information as described in this Privacy Policy. "Anonymous Information" means information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information; Anonymous Information does not permit the identification of individual persons. This information includes internet protocol addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), site entry/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to improve our Site, analyze trends, administer the Site, track users' movements around the Site, and gather aggregate information about the Site user base as a whole from which individual identities have been removed.

2. HOW INFORMATION IS COLLECTED.

In order to become a user, you must provide us the following information to create an account: email address, user name, answer to a security question, and password. Without this minimal amount of information, you cannot create an account.

Once you become a user, you may, in your sole discretion, provide additional Personal Information in your user profile describing yourself such as and including your skills, professional experiences, educational background etc. Providing additional information about yourself beyond what is minimally required at registration is entirely up to you, but providing additional Personal Information enables you to derive more benefit from the Site.

We may also collect Personal Information when you interact with our customer service department in order to accurately categorize and respond to customer inquiries and investigate potential breaches of our terms.

Like most websites, we use cookies and web log files to track site usage and trends, to collect information to improve the quality of our service, to customize your experience on the Site, as well as to deliver Karma Intelligence and third-party advertising to users both on and off the Site. A cookie is a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows us to recognize you as a user when you return to the Site using the same computer and web browser. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases doing so may impact your ability to use the Site. One type of cookie, known as a “persistent” cookie, is set once you’ve logged in to your karmadata account. The next time you visit the Site, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing user so you will not need to log in before using the Site. Another type of cookie, called a “session” cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to the Site. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser. karmadata may use cookie-equivalent technology to enhance karmadata’s services. In the course of serving advertisements or optimizing the Site for our users, we may allow authorized third parties to place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. Any information provided to third parties through cookies will not be personally identifiable but may provide general segment information (e.g., your industry or geography, career field, or information about your professional or educational background) for the enhancement of your user experience by providing more relevant advertising. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. karmadata does not store unencrypted Personal Information in the cookies.

We receive information when you interact with and use the Site. For example, we know when you create Views, open Views, make comments, search for Views, click on ads, and change your profile information etc.

We may use ad technology such as web beacons, pixels, anonymous ad network tags, and cookies to more effectively serve ads to our users on and off the Site through ad networks, as well as to collect Anonymous Information, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers. Because your web browser requests advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.

Due to the communications standards on the internet, when you visit the Site we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave the Site. Additionally, advertisers receive the URL of the page you were on should you click on an ad on the Site. The Site also receives the internet protocol (“IP”) address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, email patterns, your mobile device (including your UDID) and mobile operating system (if you are accessing the Site using a mobile device), as well as the name of your ISP or your mobile carrier. The link between your IP address and your Personal Information is not shared with third parties without your permission, except as described in Section 6(C) below.
